Been Awhile...

2010-03-14T21:21:00.000-07:00

I apologize for not posting any recipes recently. I've been bedridden with a terrible case of bronchitis. This on top of having multi-level spinal fusion surgery just 6 weeks ago made for a very bad couple of weeks.

I'm better now and will begin posting recipes again beginning Monday, March 15. Lord willing, I wont have any further delays and will be able to post recipes every other day as originally planned.

I hope you are enjoying the recipes I have posted thus far. The best are yet to come!

God bless,

Biffy

Hashbrown Casserole

Broccoli Cornbread

2010-02-24T22:14:00.000-08:00

This is a recipe that I take to almost all covered dish events and it goes over amazingly. This recipe is wickedly simple and only requires one mixing bowl and one baking dish. I inherited the recipe from my mother, but am not sure where she obtained it. Regardless, it is yummy which is why I have selected it as my first recipe post!

1 box Jiffy Cornbread Mix 1 box Chopped Broccoli, thawed & drained

1/2 c Self-rising Cornmeal 1/2 c Milk

1 med Onion, diced 1 c Cheese, grated

3 Eggs 1 tsp Salt

1 stick Oleo, melted

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine all ingredients, adding oleo last. Bake in a greased 9" x 13" pan for 40-50 minutes or until slightly browned and pulling away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool, then cut into 3" squares.

Day One

2010-02-23T20:37:00.000-08:00

This week I will begin posting some of my favorite recipes. Some will have extensive ingredients, some will have several steps to preparation. I promise that none will be too difficult.

I have always enjoyed cooking, but was not able to spend much time in the kitchen due to my work hours. My husband and oldest daughter had to fix dinner for the family. It wasn't until my divorce that I was able to enjoy more time in the kitchen. I worked an early first shift and was able to watch more Food Network and learn about combining various foods and flavors.

Now, I cook every opportunity I get. I have recently moved closer to my parents and have enjoyed copying some if my mom's recipes. She is my inspiration for creating this blog. I want to pass down to my daughters the cooking secrets she shared with me.

Since it is so late tonight, I will begin posting recipes tomorrow. I hope you enjoy them!

God bless!
